Chassis kit for Dapol Ivat 2-6-2T

Etched chassis kit for Dapol Ivatt 2-6-2 T. This has been designed specifically for the Dapol
Ivatt, and includes etched parts for the frames, cylinders and valve gear. The design provides for the use of a 1016 coreless motor with an overall gear reduction of 40:1.

Finescale chassis etch for Graham Farish Jubilee, requires wheels, motion pins, motor, etc. to complete.

Finescale chassis for Peco Jubilee

This is an etched chassis kit custom designed to fit under the Peco Jubilee body (see "Additional Products" for equivalent chassis for the Bachmann-Farish Jubilee).

The etch (12 thou brass) allows for the body to be used as bought or for the tender length to be reduced to nearer scale. Drive is from a tender mounted motor to a single 38:1 gear in the firebox. The etch includes all the parts needed to build a finescale chassis and includes, as well as the loco and tender chassis, valve gear and cylinders, and for the tender, a footplate, frames, and steps. Detailed instructions are also provided.

Jubilee locomotive and tender bodies are still available from PECO, at PECO Products and Publications, Beer, Seaton, Devon EX12 3NA. Tel 01297 21542

As the etch includes valve gear and requires some experience of soldering, it is probably not suitable for the novice working alone.

The instruction notes are available to read in advance of purchase.
